Anterior Cord Syndrome Injury Attorneys

Anterior spinal cord syndrome is a condition caused by inadequate blood flow from the heart to the front of the spinal cord. Restricted blood flow can cause damage to the spinal cord and in the majority of cases, there is no way to reverse or repair the damage once it has been done. Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC is a leading personal injury law firm in Illinois specializing in representing clients with spinal cord injuries. Whether your injury was the result of a car accident, medical malpractice or an act of negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.

Causes and Symptoms of Anterior Cord Syndrome

Trauma that causes damage to the aorta, which supplies the anterior cord with blood, is the primary cause of Anterior Cord Syndrome, but it has also been known to occur during medical procedures where pressure is placed on the patient’s chest and his or her blood oxygen is not properly monitored during the operation. A crushing blow to the chest or bone fragments created during an accident account for the majority of anterior cord injuries. Symptoms of an injury to the anterior spinal cord include the following.

Loss of sensitivity to heat, cold or pain. In many cases, the basic sense of touch may be unaffected and the victim is able to touch and feel while being unable to tell if an object is hot or cold and unable to sense the pain from a pin prick.

Muscular weakness from the point of the injury downward. Because the spinal cord is the means by which the brain communicates with the rest of the body, damage to the spine will ultimately affect motor function.

Partial or complete paralysis.

Only ten to fifteen percent of patients with anterior cord syndrome have a positive prognosis while the rest are incurable and require special care for the rest of their lives. Ongoing medical care and therapy can be extremely expensive but these costs can often be recovered by filing a lawsuit if the injury was the result of some form of negligence or malpractice. Finding a qualified spinal cord injury attorney is an important step in ensuring that you are compensated for the cost of your medical care, lost wages and pain and suffering.

Testimonials

“Too many lawyers try pass you off to another person in their office to answer questions. Not Jonathan. I have already referred some family members to Jonathan for their injury cases. I consider Jonathan both my lawyer and my friend.”- Annie

Jonathan Rosenfeld was professionally objective, timely, and knowledgeable. Also, his advice was extremely effective regarding my case. In addition, Jonathan was understanding and patient pertaining to any of my questions or concerns. I was very happy with the end result and I highly recommend Jonathan Rosenfeld. Michonne Proulx

★★★★★

Extremely impressed with this law firm. They took control of a bad motorcycle crash that left my uncle seriously injured. Without any guarantee of a financial recovery, they went out and hired accident investigators and engineers to help prove how the accident happened. I am grateful that they worked on a contingency fee basis as there was no way we could have paid for these services on our own. Ethan Armstrong

★★★★★

This lawyer really helped me get compensation for my motorcycle accident case. I know there is no way that I could have gotten anywhere near the amount that Mr. Rosenfeld was able to get to settle my case. Thank you. Daniel Kaim

Jonathan helped my family heal and get compensation after our child was suffered a life threatening injury at daycare. He was sympathetic and in constant contact with us letting us know all he knew every step of the way. We were so blessed to find Jonathan! Giulia

Jonathan did a great job helping my family navigate through a lengthy lawsuit involving my grandmother's death in a nursing home. Through every step of the case, Jonathan kept my family informed of the progression of the case. Although our case eventually settled at a mediation, I really was impressed at how well prepared Jonathan was to take the case to trial. Lisa
